Story:

There is a tank that can fill 4 liters of water. The 2/3 of the tank has been filled with water. How much liters have the tank filled with water?

Solution of story:

We know that:

  • Tank = 4 liters
  • 2/3 x 4 = Water filled in tank

Multiply both the terms to get the answer.

Solution:

  • 2/3 x 4 liters
  • => 8/3 liters = 2 2/3 liters

Hence, 2 2/3 liters has been filled with water.

Hoped this helped.
